180 THE ZOOLOGIST. 



326. Sterna dougalli, Mont.; Roseate Tern. — Mr. T. H. Nelson 

 informs us that the five recorded for Tees Bay by " Argus " were 

 Common Terns, and not this species. 



332. Sterna fuliginosa, Gm. ; Sooty Tern. — As suspected 

 (Handbook, p. xxxvii), this specimen has proved to be a Black 

 Tern. 



342. Larus ridibundus, L. ; Brown-headed Gull. — A few pairs 

 bred in 1881 and 1882 in a marshy field by the River Aire, just 

 outside the Leeds borough boundary, and in 1883 they bred in 

 some numbers on Strensall Common, but their eggs, about forty 

 in number, were taken. The discussion in various numbers of 

 ' The Field ' for February and March, 1884, has added nothing 

 to the information concerning Yorkshire which was in our 

 possession at the time of framing our original account. 



352. Larus leiicopterus, Faber ; Iceland Gull. — Additional 

 occurrences : Spurn, a mature female and a bird of the year shot 

 December, 1882, now in Clarke's possession. 



359. Procellaria leucorrhoa,Yie\U.. ; Leach's Petrel. — Additional 

 occurrences : Riplingham, near Beverley, one in December, 1881 

 (Dobree, Nat. 1882, p. 100). One obtained near Whitby, in the 

 possession of Mr. C. Bagnall (Stephenson). 



362. Piiffinus griscus (Gm.) ; Sooty Shearwater. — At the time 

 of publishing the ' Handbook ' we were unable to discriminnte 

 between tlie recorded occurrences of P. grlseus and P. major. We 

 can now record the following occurrences of this species : one shot 

 at Whitby in September, 1870, now in the Museum (Stephenson). 

 One shot in Bridlington Bay, 1872, by Mr. Elton, is referred to 

 this species (Macpherson, Zool. 1883, y>. 121). Clarke examined 

 a fine pair i)i September last, which liad been shot at Flam- 

 borough. One shot at Redcar, Sept. 17, 1883 (T. H. Nelson, 

 Zool. 1884, p. 147), but not, as the recorder supposes, an additionn 

 to the fauna of the county. 



Fishes. 



5. Lamna cornubica (Gm.); Porbeagle. — In August, 1883, 

 four were captured alive in Bridlington Bay, one of which, 

 examined by Clarke, was eight feet long. 



6. Alopecias vidpes (Gm.); Fox Shark, Thresher, — One capV 

 tured on September 19th, 1883, at Hornsea, eleven feet in length 

 (Dobree, Naturalist, 1883, ix. 69).
